Why so slow?
Wednesday, July 16, 2003 by jfike | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Tonight, I saw via Stardock Central, an upgrade of WindowBlinds 4.00.006 to 4.10.010. I started the upgrade and noticed the transfer rate was from 19 to 80 bits per second, so the 2.09 MB file download would take around 320 to 450 minutes.
I can only afford a dial-up internet connection. Why so slow? I don’t see this "slowness" at other sites. I can usually connect at 28800 to 44000.

jfike, probably cause a gazillon ppl are dl-ing it exactly at the same time you are.
When I was on a dial-up connection, it took about 8 hours to finish. There I was, mad as hell & no fingernails left...I feel for ya.
